The
Neonatology Graduate Clinic
by
Tiffany McKee-Garrett, MD
The
Neonatology Graduate Clinic opened its doors to its first patients
in September 2002. The clinic is on the 17th floor of the new
Clinical Care Center at Texas Children’s Hospital and is a primary
care clinic for graduates of the newborn and intensive care nurseries
at Texas Children’s, St. Luke’s Hospital, and The Methodist Hospital.
The
clinic provides services to all patients of pediatric age. This
service is particularly convenient for families with newborns
and older children who wish to receive their health care with
the same physician at one location. Additionally, clinic patients
with complex medical problems can receive primary care and sub-specialty
care at the same location, since sub-specialty clinics are in
the Clinical Care Center, too. Every effort is made to coordinate
appointments in the Neonatal Graduate Clinic with other sub-specialty
clinics to accommodate the families.
The
clinic is staffed by board-certified pediatricians from the Neonatology
Section at Baylor College of Medicine. While these physicians
focus on the care of neonates, they are very experienced in the
care of pediatric patients of all ages. The clinic also has access
to the services of a registered neonatal/pediatric dietitian and
a certified social worker.
Appointments
for well children are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Appointments for sick children are available Monday and Wednesday.
An on-call physician is accessible at night for acute patient
problems.
